I'm gonna make a diagnosis which I can do as a lay person: [View all]

In my mind, nearly without question, he suffers from Frontotemporal Dementia.

Wanna know a few things those afflicted demonstrate? Sure you do…

1. Binge eating and obsessive food behaviors. The whole fast food thing is a simple way of binging. It’s much easier than telling your chef go through the efforts of making another double cheeseburger with all the fixings. And then another. With fast food, it’s…fast. “Gimme another” and poof! there it is. His ordering of that for the teams that came to the WH was indicative not only of a low opinion of the players and coaches, but it’s what he would like to eat. That’s how narcissists cook: incidentally others are coming for dinner. And take a look at him.

2. Palmar Grasp disorder: watch how he uses his (tiny) hands to hold a cup of water or Diet Coke. He’s got a problem picking things up.

3. Disinhibition: he has been progressively cursing and sexualizing in his public speeches. Notice that he prefaced the Arnold Palmer story with reflection that translated into the fact that this was not a story to be told, but he couldn’t help himself. I also believe that his groping of women is and was an early sign, because this often starts manifesting itself in one’s forties. (I had a patient who was a famous Philly judge who exhibited this exact behavior for decades and nobody could or would do anything about it. He continued his behavior well into his nineties).

4. Progressive nonfluent aphasia: no shit, Sherlock. Too many examples to begin to list here.

5. Cognitive Dysfunction: ya think? I wouldn’t even know where to begin.

Yep…AFAIC, it’s a three point basket…and the foul. BOOM.

P.S. if the video of him groping comes out, then the disinhibition is quite real and proven. Q.E.D.
